The Holy Spirit’s Early Appearance
The Holy Spirit appeared at the Baptism of Christ Jesus, as a dove descending upon the Son of God, while the Father spoke from Heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” (Matthew 3:17)
At a later time, Jesus breathed on the apostles, and said to them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost,” (John 20:22).
Today, how do you and I receive the Holy Spirit? Simple: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost,” (Acts 2:38).
Amen.
P.S. Pastor Gray loves to preach about the Holy Spirit, who is sometimes also called, “The Holy Ghost.” Come to church any Sunday at 11:00 a.m. to experience worship that welcomes the Holy Spirit. Not fancy. Not modern. Just straight and true. |
